lBecause genuine leather is a natural material, its surface is not uniform and it may have natural scars, scratches, and
wrinkles.
lTo maintain the quality for as long as
possible, periodical maintenance, about twice a year, is recommended.
lSand and dust on the seat surface may
damage the overcoat of the genuine leather surfaces and accelerate wear.
lGreasy soiling on genuine leather may cause molding and stains.
lRubbing hard with a stiff brush or cloth may cause damage.
lDo not wipe the leather using alcohol, chlorine bleach, or organic solvents such as thinner, benzene, or gasoline. Otherwise, it may cause discoloration or stains.
lIf the seats get wet, promptly remove moisture with a dry cloth. Remaining moisture on the surface may cause
deterioration such as hardening and shrinkage.
lExposure to direct sunlight for long periods may cause deterioration and shrinkage. When parking the car under direct sunlight for long periods, shade the interior using sunshades.
lDo not leave vinyl products on the seats for long periods as they may affect the leather quality and coloring. If the cabin temperature becomes hot, the vinyl may deteriorate and adhere to the genuine leather.
